Why I’m on Couchsurfing

YOU’LL DO AND TRY THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD AND SOMETHING YOU NEVER EVER SEEN IN TRAVEL GUIDANCE BOOK!

Interests

I don’t know if this will interest anyone, but I’m trying to understand how many things interest me. So I’ve made a list, partly for fun, partly to help me understand, and, perhaps, focus in on some subjects a little better as time passes...

~Food and drink – discovering new flavours, and nutrition
~Media and communications – differences between cultures and new techniques
~adventurous activities: bungy jump, flying fox, obstacle challenges and so on
~ACTING
~Travel – being in other places, not getting there!
~Culture – what it is, how it differs and evolves

• culture
• books
• singing
• theater
• acting
• dancing
• dining
• drinking
• flying
• traveling
• communications

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS I love fantasy. I have an amazing ability to completely lose myself in whatever I am reading. I enjoy Nora Roberts, I love Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, Stephenie Meyer, Phillip Pullman(The Golden Compass Trilogy), Christopher Paolini (Eragon & Eldest), and just generally anything the involves a mystical plot line. I occasionally read Stephen King when I can get past the first few chapters... his stuff normally starts out sooooo slow.

MOVIES As far as movies go, I generally lean the same direction as books. With the added ingredient of Drama. I love The Illusionist and The Prestige. I enjoy action flicks, Die Hard, Armageddon, The Rock, The Net. Huge fan of comedy movie also.

MUSIC english and chinese pop songs!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

While I was traveling alone through the Seoul and Bali, CS saved my life. I’m someone who needs company to stay energized, but always building travel plans around friends’ schedules can be limiting. Couchsurfing liberated me from my fears of traveling alone and getting lonely, because I knew that no matter where I went, I would be guaranteed to meet new people. Recently, I found out that I couldn’t fly to Seoul on the same flight as my mates. I was really bummed at first, but then I decided to book a flight via Vietnam, which offers free layovers in Hanoi to people flying from the Vietnam to South Korea. Before I’d discovered Couchsurfing, I never would have decided to plan a four-day trip to a Indonesia and Thailand all by myself. Couchsurfing is perfect those who love company, but also like making their own plans.So..Yeappp,life is always unpredictable,so live and full of it,then you will know how awesome you can gonna be =)
